Q2: How long have you been a Chat Host?

On July 23rd it will be one year that I have been a chat host with Bingo Mania.

Q3: How did you become a Chat Host?

I started out as a player at Bingo Mania, and I used to�.well, l still do�.talk a lot, and always have a great time. They were looking for another GM at the time, so I was asked if I would be interested� I had to think for a minute (lol). I said yes, how could I not want to do this!! I love to chat and have met some great people. So to put it shortly, I was in the right spot at the right time.

Q4: What do you like most about the job?

I would have to say the players, they are the greatest�.then the company I work for (Bingo Mania), and my co-workers that are behind the scenes that a lot of people don't see. I would have to say that they are great also.

Q5: What is the worst part of the job?

Worst part��.hmmmmmm there is none!

Q6: Which are your favorite chat room games?

Nabors, of course, as well as Captains! Actually any games that gives players a good chance of winning BBs!!

Q7: What is the funniest thing that has ever happened whilst you have been in a chat room?

This one is hard for me to answer�I have had a lot of funny things happen in chat but I think the most recent was when a player didn't understand the meaning of a particular "term" and another player explained it to her �.. very well, which gave her a really good picture in her mind�.. All the loonies (chatters) changed their names to this and I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes most of the day!

Q8: What makes a good Chat Host?

The most important thing is to take notice and greet all the players, explain the games and anything else going on the best of your ability. A good chat host should be eager to always help the players on anything they don't understand with the games� I also try to go out of my way on helping get answers when players have questions or problems.

Q9: How would you like to see online bingo (as a whole) develop?

One of the things I like about working for Bingo Mania is the importance we put on our players. We ask players for feedback and then we improve our games and services based on what they want. I would like to see other online bingo sites do a much better job of listening to players.

Q10: Any other comments that you'd like to add about being a Chat Host?

I want to say that I love working for Bingo Mania and that all the GMs here are great as well as our players! I think they know that I love each and every one of them!!!!!!!

All the team here at CMOTY would like to say a big 'TY' to Kari.
